The Most Important Moment In Time

"Consider a moment in time,
And it’s pure power defined

For in an instant your mood can change,
Leaving you happy or deranged

Like flipping a switch,
Your emotions submit

To euphoria sky high,
Or, “why did I bother to try”

Consider to,
What could happen to you

An event that changed your life,
In a moment, not overnight

Perhaps it was the time you locked eyes,
 They are the “one” you realized

That moment you became an adult,
Your life changed, no doubt

New responsibilities for you,
And you knew you could do it too

Most “ah ha” moments are not planned,
Anticipation cannot will them or demand

It is the spontaneous moment with the most power,
 And you never will know the appointed hour

But you will know when the moment arrives,
 And how it will change your lives"

True words these....for me...most "ah ha" moments are not planned, anticipation cannot will them or demand.
